Dermatologist Explains: Skincare for Sensitive Skin and Rosacea- Ways to Thrive with Sensitive Skin 

Rosacea is a huge problem out here it’s so exhausting

I really wish they could cure all forms of Rosacea permanently! I have had it for over 30 years and it is tough!

Since I started having skin issues this year, I've been watching your videos to learn about skin conditions/ disease and skin care recommendations! I love that your recommendations are affordable and easily accessible. Thank you for your informative and fun videos!! Mahalo Sugai sensei!

Thank you for sharing these amazing tips for managing sensitive skin and rosacea! As someone who struggles with both, I appreciate the advice from a dermatologist like you. I've been using DermalMD Rosacea Serum and it's been a game-changer for me in reducing redness and inflammation on my skin. It's great to see a product specifically formulated for rosacea and sensitive skin, and I appreciate the recommendations for additional skincare tips. Thank you again for the helpful video!

Really helpful and insightful, wish I had found you years ago, thank you so much for how thorough this video was, wish my dermatologists had taken the time to explain and recommend/guide like you did, really appreciate it

I can't tell you how much this one video has helped me to understand what my Rosacea needs in the way of products. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Ugh thank god i’ve been looking for a video like this

I love how you demonstrate the products! I just have a problem with the Redness. It will go away for awhile & then comes back. I am in the comeback phase right now.

I use Aveeno and dove lotion (fragrance free) and Cetaphil almond oil, Love these products!!!

I was just diagnosed with rosacea. Your video gave me more tips as to what products to try. What I need to work on is the psychological aspect of it. I feel as if every one is staring at my red face. 😔

You are the first person that mentioned taking something hot out of the oven can result in facial redness

a lot of derms recommend niacinamide as an ingredient to calm rosacea-prone skin but it seems like my skin just cannot tolerate it - especially the good ol' cerave pm lotion - as much as i want to love it, it gives me red little bumps whenever i use it. until dr.dray pointed out that many people find niacinamide to be actually not helping their skin condition and people should be aware of that!!

Love these videos! Please do more 🙏

I have both mild rosacea and sensitive skin. This was amazing! Thank you!

I appreciate your advice! 👏👏

Thank you for adding this video to your channel. This really helped me a lot into knowing what I could try to use for my rosacea. I have been having this skin condition for quite some time already. Still trying things out in to what helps me out with my skin. Been doing the steps pretty much what you said just still need to find good products to use for my face. I wanted to ask you a question on how long should I wait when trying new cleansers or skin products to try on. Due bc I don’t want to cause skin irritation then it already is. Thanks for reading this and for answering my question. 🙏🏽

If you have rosacea or just weird bumps and redness try leaving salicylates out of your skin and hair care products ❤ switch harsh cleansers to oils (clinique cleansing oil for example) and use a moisturizer like cerave moisturising lotion. Theres a strong chance the condition of your skin will improve as youre not constantly destroying your moisture barrier with harsh cleansers, using scented creams with age old technology and aggravating skin conditions with salicylates/any other chemical youre sensitive to

Thanks for the video, Doctor. Lots of great info!

I have rosacea with the breakout bumps. I use the sulfur cleanser, vanicream cleanser, tretinoin and antibiotics from my derm. Honestly the antibiotics really help control flares because they seem unavoidable based on the climates Im in and my sport activities. Life just seems to be a trigger in general. Unpopular moisturizer that works for me is the olay sensitive moisturizing lotion. Ive tried a lot of moisturizers. No fragrance, actives,etc. Its at target usually.

Thank you for talking about Rosacea! I acquired it about 2 years ago, brought on with hyperthyroid. I use Retina A .05 about 3-4 days a week. Vitamin C, I don’t seem to have an issue. I do use Vani cream products, LRP, Olay and peptide serum. It took me awhile to find what works for me.

I get acne rosacea and dermatitis flares especially during cold weather. I do dermaplane once every two weeks, followed by Aquaphor. I use the mild Versed overnight peel (pink tube) twice a week. Adapalene is 3 times per week. Sunscreen (110+ SPF) any time the sun is up. I moisturize with H2V D3 Moisturizer (I may change it soon though because they added fragrance). At night I use Aquaphor around my eyes and moisturize with Jojoba oil or natural cocoa butter (it doesn’t break me out at all).

Love the content. Please review the best moisturizers for different skin types?

Thank you for the information 👍

Thank you I need this video!

I absolutely love vanicream. I have been curious about other products like facial moisturizers and cleansers and have tried a lot and have liked them but when I go back to vanicream all I need to use is the vanicream cleanser because it removes the water resistant sunscreen without stripping and ill use tretinoin with the cetaphil redness relief moisturizer then I go on with the vanicream cream in the tub over that that stuff feels amazing on my skin.

This was such a helpful video. I wish I watched it before I saw all those videos on anti-aging products. I bought 15% vitamin C serum and was wondering why my face was so red. I definitely can’t use it on my sensitive skin.

Doctor, thank you for the tips 🙏 can you please do a similar video with cruelty free products only? 🙏

This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….

Please do a video about large pores. I could fit a friend in one pore. I exaggerate...just a bit. Love your positive approach, and content.

Would you do a video on sensitive bodycare routine…the bodycare products you use on your kids?

Very helpful video! thank you!

Hi Dr! New subscriber here! Have you done any videos on treating melasma? Would love to get a good AM and PM regimen!

Rosacea from birth. I use retinol .50? La roche posay products are fabulous. I don’t use drying masks. I use Aquaphor at night. SUNSCREEN. My skin won’t tolerate ultra MD it peels.

I always get the irritated bumps on my cheekbones too, from the cold! Tends to be just one side 🤷🏼‍♀️At least that part is a little bit predictable lol

You are amazing. ❤very insightiful.

As someone with sensitive Rosacea (type 1, 2, and 3) fungal acne skin, very little works for me, I react to 99% of all skincare targeted for my skin type and conditions, but what few failed to mention is that it's also an eye disease, as my eyes hurt, and also being recently diagnosed with Diabetes type 2, it just adds to the pile of issues I have to deal with besides grass pollen allergies, food allergies/intolerance, depression, and anxiety, as both affects skin and eyes, and the two are also related. I'm also deficient in vitamin D which is common here in Scandinavia. Also skincare is one thing, but diet plays a huge role, and so many foods triggers flare ups! My doctor refused to refer me to a derm, and instead prescribed me Zoolantra, which made everything worse. I live in Norway btw. Been on Azelaic acid, non prescription from the Ordinary for the past 2 months, flawless skin in the beginning, now breakouts, which I'm not sure is due to purgin, food or flare up, as I already had purgin at week 2, or 3. The struggle of being a POC/brown, and have Rosacea. Everyone just thinks it is a tan, or that it is your actual skintone, NO! Sick and tired of it. Also no longer have a moisturiser that works for me as the Avene Extreme Tolerance Light was discontinued, tho it did kinda break me out as well. I've tried everything from the Ordinary, to K, and J beauty. Nothing works, or makes it worse which is why I now got Roascea in the 1st place. Neither Squalane oil, or MCT oil works. Not even Aloe Vera! Retinol, vitamin C, Niacinamide, snail, oats, rice and green tea breaks me out: redness, red bumps, and hives. So I've given up. Only thing I can use is a Japanese sunscreen from Nivea, but due to the high alcohol content it does also irritate. Physical is out of the question due to not fungal acne/Malasezzia Folliculitis safe. Prior to 2013 I never used moisturiser, cleanser or a sunscreen. And pre Rosacea, and fungal acne I used all the ingredients I now react badly to without any issues. Hate this! As a certfied hairdresser and MUA, back in beauty school, I learned I was allerigc to mineral makeup, and I've noticed I'd always react if alot of alcohol, or green tea in a product. But what escalated everything was when I got into skincare, like Korean, suddenly doing toners, serums, moisturizers, and especially actives, and chemical exfoliants etc, without patch testing, and just onto the next product if something didn't work when prior I had only used a moisturizer from the French brand Embryolisse, which had perfume, and Charged Water Hydrating Mist from MAC which they discontinued. My skinbarrier got ruined, tight and red skin, and nothing that I had used prior for years, worked pluss red bumps all over aka contact dermatitis. I never used to have acne, and if any 1 near my nose, never anywhere else. Not even during puberty. Then it evolved into Roascea. K-beauty is big on plant/flower extracts, water, juices and oils, while J-beauty is big on vitamin C, and Urea. if you got Rosacea, STAY CLEAR! So sad as it works for everyone else! Cerave and Cetaphil, as well as Vaseline breaks me out, thio teh Hydrating Cleanser from Cerave is the only cleanser I can use, and I use it only at night. Dunno what's wrong with me tbh!

thanks!!!!

hope you can also do a skincare for kp...

Fascinating..The one organ thats on the outside of the body, seems to have the most incurable conditions.

I got sensitive skin, My sensitivity is even more during the winter!!!

Rosazea can be healing.maybe sometimes it is a only a problem with Rosmary or nickel. The best to save and clean skin is use aleppo cleansing plus almondoil

Hello! Please make an updated shave 101 video. The first video was so helpful but the Aveeno shave gel isn't being sold and I am in charge of my husband's skin lol

I have found aluminer gentle chemical peels and lpl have worked wonders for my skin in the last year.just gentle wipe off milk cleanser morning and night and no7 essential night moisterizer and alluminer spf sheer 7n day.I started this in last year and my rosacea really isn't as much if an issue.it'll never go,but my skin looks good.

I am looking forward to laser treatment for my melasma because peels in the past haven’t worked.

Can u do video on skin radiance or skin brightning for oily skin😊

A new video! :) it's been a long time :)

Thank you so much for this video ! Can you leave me in comment some other moisturizers or hydrating serum for rosacea prone skin ? Ones that dont contain retinol for day and night time. I hope you see this message :)!

Hi I have been dealing with rosacea and I have found Avene ciclafate + restorative cream to be helpful.

Paramita,bila aku gelisah aku dengerin kamu sampai ketiduran on terus

Doctor can you do reviews on first aid beauty products? Which one you like and dont Iike?

Regarding Rosacea and the theory it is caused or worsened by demodex mites I‘d like to know your opinion on a certain skincare product called Demoderm. Main active substances are sulfor and zinc. It also contains menthol. This skincare product is supposed to detox the skin and doing so it is said it can lead to an intense worsening of the skin in the beginning as part of the detox process. The skin is supposed to heal itself eventuall so that - according to the Demoderm-thoery - the skin doesn‘t need any skincare at all and should regulate itself. During that detox period it is said, that Demoderm is drying out the sebum in the skin so demodex mites would basically starve and die and the skin can recover. The pores on Rosacea-skin are referred to as Demodex-pores. I‘d really like to know your opinion on these theories because I can‘t find any statement by a dermatologist, not on Google nor on RU-vid and I would like to know if Demoderm is worth a try. Many Thanks!

Hi Dr. Daniel, Can you recommend creams or oils such as moisturizing and repairing related to psoriasis on the nails?

I have rosacea and very uneven skin tone. My dermatologist has approved the products I currently use by Vanicream (am), Dermalogica Ultra-Calming (pm), La-Roche Posay (tinted mineral sunscreen) and The Ordinary Mandelic Acid Serum (pm). I saw "Cetaphil Face Cream, Healthy Radiance Renewing Cream" and was wondering if you have reviewed it or would recommend it. Thank you for all the information you share!

Can you please review the brand Torriden when you get a chance ? 🙏

Love your channel Would Luxima Normaliser treatment help Rosacea😮

Triple paste (diaper cream ) is amazing too as a basting at night to calm and super hydrate dry skin

Just stumbled on this video and realized I have rosacea and everything I've done to my skin or advice I've been given is wrong. Someone mentioned that they had a problem after using LED mask. It was recommended I use one by a esthetician and after I used it I got white pimples, I'm 60 and didn't have acne even as a teen.

At the rate we are suppose to put sunscreen, every 2 hours, and also a generous amount , those tiny little 50ml bottle or tube would last for a weeks at most, NO ONE had the money to entertain that kind of expense, it's like "should i pay my rent this month or buy sunscreen" it's ridiculous.

I would love your dermatologist opinion of marie veronique Pure + E.O. Free Oil Cleanser and barrier restore serum.

Hi Doctor, I love the vanicream facial wash, I think it’s better than cerave hydrate cleanser, kelh’s, and first aid!! Could you share more products you use for your kids! Thank you!

Nice video

Thank you.

Using retinoids and/or retinol has stopped mild eczema flares on my cheeks, particularly cheekbones that would erupt during allergy season

Ok i have been suffering with rosacea my main trigger is extreme cold, spicy food and dairy…..i have cut off spicy food and dairy and started using hydrating cleanser followed by layers of moisturizer,face oil and seal it all in with vaseline and reapply them whenever i feel dry out …it has been good so far now

Great ideas doctor! I’m 55 no cosmetic facial surgery (even tho my neck is hmmm) I need to reapply sunscreen and I have never done a laser on my cheek but maybe I need to. Do you know about Fraskel? Does it hurt?

Please doctor recommend a good brightening face and body cream for acne prone skin i want to achieve that glowy skin i always dream of thank you as you help

I have roseaca and my skin tolerates AlphaRet overnight cream (retinol) really well

5:51 I tried the Vanicream Daily Facial moisturizer, and my skin hated it. Within a day or two after I started using it, this moisturizer severely dried out my skin. My skin became incredibly dry to the point where many lines started to form, and my skin felt so tight that I couldn’t even move my face. I was especially shocked because many lines started to form all over my face that were never there before, including on areas where it doesn’t make sense for there to be lines, such as the eyelids. Luckily, the lines went away shortly after I stopped using this moisturizer. It sucks because my skin gets dry during the Winter, but I can’t even use a moisturizer to help with the dryness, because the moisturizer itself severely dries out my skin. I have never even heard of a moisturizer having this type of effect on skin, since it’s the complete opposite effect that a moisturizer is supposed to have. I’ve tried multiple different moisturizers in the past, but I haven’t been able to find any that my skin will accept.

Hi. Can you please do a video about POC. My neck is so red and I don’t want to do laser treatments if there is topical products I can use instead. Thank you

Good

The Elta MD caused a crazy allergic reaction on my face. That one is now off of my list 😢

Gold bond products review plz

I have rosacea-like symptoms with redness/papules, but also very oily/"tacky" skin. It's hard bc the rosacea seems to be triggered by the oil, and the oil is almost impossible to remove without a harsh exfoliant, which then dries out the skin, etc. Soothing creams are all so heavy on my oily skin they don't absorb in, but without cream you can't get rid of the redness. If I use the cream, I develop weird fungal infections on my skin. All of this started after I caught cold sores, which spread over my face before being contained, so they also break out during a rosacea flare. They also have the same triggers as rosacea. I feel there must be a link.

Hello! Is it ok to use retinol on bridge of nose up to between eyebrows. I know NOT to use around eyes & lips. Thank you!

What do you think of Kate Somerville Eradikate sulphur cleaner? For rosacea skin?

What sunscreen do you recommend?

Popular thick moisturizers burn my rosacea, the lightweight stuff is a must for me

What about red light therapy for rosacea/sensitive skin for anti-aging?

I am using a certain product with retinyl palmitate, ceramides and hyaluronic acid but it has hydrolyzed collagen too. Collagen has large molecules so maybe it will block the other actives to penetrate?

Lavender oil can be very sensitizing. I’m not sure why it’s in so many products for sensitive skin. By definition it’s supposed to be healing but I’m not sure.

Any recommendations for what I can use from the brand Cerave? I have oily and acne prone skin from Rosacea and I just picked up a few different products and not sure now if I can use it to treat my rosacea 😭❤️

profound vs morpheus8. Which one do you think is better?

Thank you very much - rosacea is a big problem for me. Just wanted to ask - could you suggest with Clinique brand ? Do you know if there are products to help with rosacea? It seems as a good old brand but I can not find information about it.

I use that Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 even at night. It really calms my skin down, and works as colour correction under makeup or tinted sunscreen

I have rosacea and dark spots from acne scarring. I am wondering about vitamin e oil treatment to help with the dark spots. What are your thoughts about face oils or actual vitamin e oil as topical skin treatment?

I hear a lot on Avenue products but have not tried since more expensive. At some point can you talk on them?

Doctor - I am recently tried to get off my daily Allegra but have noticed that I am very itchy in certain areas of my body. Do you have any recommendations for itch relief or what may be happening to me?

What about CeraVe retinol for skin with rosacea?? I use the face lotion with SPF and so far it doesn't cause me to flare up.

I have a unique issue. When I was in the Army hot brass burned my cheek and stuck under my eyewear. (thank heaven I was wearing eye protection) I had a blister nothing too drastic (I even forgot about it). Now that I'm getting older it has darkened and the pores enlarged. Would mederma help or am I too late? Or is there something better? Vitamin c and retinol haven't lightened it.

Can I use CeraVe retinol with sensitive skin?

Can you list the products on the comments

I have rosacea and just generally sensitive skin and could never tolerate tretinoin, until I tried the Stieva-A 0.01%. It’s worked really well, and I find it hasn’t irritated my skin at all.

Can I use coconut oil after Retinoid?

Thank you for this video Dr, it's very informative. Can you do a review of Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium vs Gokujyun Premium range? Also the Melano CC range (brightening lotion, essence, brightening gel). Thank you!

Do zo skin health recommended my dermatologist for orchonosis?

Notte routine Pelle sensibile? ❤

2:10 Introducing a new product

My rosacea is worse now that I’m older. I don’t know if it’s hormonal changes or just aging skin, but I go instantly red when triggered. When I avoid acid reflux food triggers, my skin isn’t so awful but I have to use medicated lotion now anyway (heat triggers it as well). It sucks. ☹️

But the skincare products I buy (I have a budget) so I'm picky.

I have rosacea in my forehead and also sensitive. It doesn't go at easily. In bangladeshi weather , it is very difficult to maintain. How do I solve it? Are all the product suitable for extreme hot weather?
